SHS

Square hollow section (SHS) curving

SHS, short for square hollow section, is a frequently used type of structural steel tube with four equal sides, providing it with a symmetrical appearance. Its flat surface allows for easy joining and welding with minimal edge preparation necessary.

SHS steel is commonly utilised in applications such as structural, industrial, mechanical and construction, where a balance between strength, functionality and aesthetic appeal is desired.

Profile

Square hollow section (SHS)

Advanced Metal Curving has the ability to curve SHS from 25 x 3mm all the way up to 250 x 9mm.

Please note:

Material size: This list is a guideline based on MILD Steel. We curve any and all sizes and thicknesses in between. If your project requires a different material thickness or type such as aluminium, please contact us with the details.

Orientation: Refers to the direction of the curve for members of unequal size, such as RHS or Angle. These can be rolled multiple ways. Please refer to the images above to specify the orientation.

Minimum inside radius: Refers to the tightest radius possible, measured to the inside of a continuous curve. Altering material type, thickness, or the addition of straight legs, tangents or multiple radii will affect the minimum radius.

Minimum green required per length: Green is the term used to describe the material (wastage) required on either end for the machine to take hold. This material remains straight and needs to be removed after rolling i.e. 500mm green per length = 250mm green each end. The remaining length will be usable curve. How much green depends on the section size, orientation and machine type.

Material supply: AMC can supply or customer free issue.

Transport notes: AMC have an overhead crane and forklift on site to handle loading / unloading of over-sized semi-trailers. Dimensions and weight can be supplied to assist you to organise freight.
